A riveting journey, Young & Restless in China tracks the lives of nine ambitious young Chinese struggling to make it in this tumultuous and rapidly changing society. Whether defying Eastern traditions in pursuit of Western values, struggling through government protocols to start a new business, or fighting to preserve the environment, this new generation is caught between the bonds of their nation's history and their own quest for a future.

I use this film in my Food & Culture course. Too many videos do not approach the rapid change and the hardship that is making that a top economy in the world. I hope my students begin to understand who they will be competing with in the marketplace.
